Psalm 6

Psalm 6New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.

1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your angeror discipline me in your wrath.2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.3 My soul is in deep anguish.How long, Lord, how long?

4 Turn, Lord, and deliver me;save me because of your unfailing love.5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.Who praises you from his grave?

6 I am worn out from my groaning.

All night long I flood my bed with weepingand drench my couch with tears.7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;they fail because of all my foes.

8 Away from me, all you who do evil,for the Lord has heard my weeping.9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;the Lord accepts my prayer.10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
